The salvation of J.P. Morgan

This week's devotional is entitled, "His Most Precious Blood," and comes to us from Revelation 1:5,

"Jesus Christ. . .loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood."

When J.P. Morgan, the multimillionaire, died, it was found that his will consisted of about 10,000 words and 37 articles. He made many transactions, some involving large sums of money.

But we are left in no doubt as to what he considered his most important transaction:

"I commit my soul into the hands of my Savior, in full confidence that, having redeemed and washed it in His most precious blood, He will present it faultless before my heavenly Father; and I entreat my children to maintain and defend, at all hazard and at any cost of personal sacrifice, the blessed doctrine of the complete atonement for sin through the blood of Jesus Christ, once offered, and through that alone."

In the matter of his soul's eternal blessing, J.P. Morgan's vast wealth was powerless. He was just as dependent on God's mercy as was the dying theif at Calvary.

No matter who you are or what you have done, only Christ can save you, for only "the blood of Jesus Christ. . . cleanses. . . from all sin" (1 John 1:7).

May God bless each of you.
